Trade Manager Installation and Debug: Step 3!

[DirtyHarry]

Spoodini: sorry we were away yesterday. I will take a look at the issue you reported.

Tony, I have no way to import that data because it has no well definied separators in between values. Anyhow, as long as you have your card list in a tabular format, or with a standard separator between each value, you can import it in Excel or any other spreadsheet software, then save it to CSV. Sorry we could not do much better than this.

[DirtyHarry]

Spoodini, thanks for reporting that. It was a template issue.

Tony: again, if you think you have the stuff in some format that has all the values clearly divided but you do not know how to export it to spreadsheets, try sending us a copy of the file and I will see if there is something we can do.

Honestly, the format as we have it now is too variable from user to user and has no clear division in between values; we cannot even use spaces as a division because, of course, not all cards have the same values (some have more than just a player last name and first name, and so on).

Harry,

Can we keep the old list manager around so members can use it later to do there own transfers? Just keep it as a reference?

[DirtyHarry]

Yeah, this was the same idea I had, in fact. You guys just choose where you want to have the links to the old List Manager, so that we will move them there once the Phase 3 is complete. I think that, for a while, you will need both systems setup.

Once you believe the old List Manager can be removed - which could happen in a few weeks, months, or never - we will uninstall it.

Harry, just place it where you feel comfortable. I will develop a tutorial this weekend as I build my inventory. Thanks!

Harry I have an idea...

Can you make it possible to PM someone from their inventory? That way they don't have to go back to the main page and search that person in the member list?

Simple question:

What column headers do I /have/ to have in a CSV file for the import option to work, if it works at all?

[DirtyHarry]

It has always worked from the beginning, the CSV importer. Just click on import and you will see a list of required fields.

The list is complete, with the exception of some additional fields not yet listed.

Thanks.

Got an error on what I think was the last step of importing my csv..

Fatal error:

* A required field called categoryid is missing or has an invalid value.

Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vB_DataManager_TM_Card in /includes/class_dm.php on line 765

Thanks for your report. Investigating this now.
